Executive Summary The train-the-trainers programme on good practices in refrigeration is part of a comprehensive approach to reduce the CFC consumption in the refrigeration-servicing sector. Such approach is defined in the Refrigerant Management Plan (RMP) of Turkmenistan. The training programme on good practices in refrigeration and the institutional strengthening were approved by the GEF Council in 1998. UNEP co-ordinates the implementation of programmes together with the Ministry of Nature Protection of Turkmenistan. The aim of this project is to implement a comprehensive training program for refrigeration technicians in good servicing practices and recovery and recycling of refrigerants in the refrigeration and air-conditioning sectors. It has been agreed between the country and UNEP that synergies should be created in implementing this project with a view to optimise the use of the resources. As part of this training program a five-day workshop for “Training the Trainers” was organised in Ashgabat from 28th May to 1st June 2001. Berthold Schneider, a UNEP international consultant in recovery, recycling of refrigerants and good practices from the “Bundesfachschule for Refrigeration & Air-Conditioning, Maintal, Germany” served as the lead instructor and co-ordinator of the workshop. At the workshop, 26 professionals from Turkmenistan were trained. They received the necessary knowledge in order to train another approximately 380 trainers and technicians working with them at their respective workshops in the use of good practices and how to recover and recycle used refrigerants. Names and details of the 26 participants are included on the list of participants (Annex 10.2). Additional workshops are planned by the local trainers to train further 380 trainers and technicians in the major cities and Training institutes of Turkmenistan. At the end of the workshop time was allocated for discussions between the participants, the international consultant and the national Ozone Office. 1. Background According to the Country Programme of Turkmenistan the total ODS consumption in Turkmenistan was 31.1 ODP tons in 1996, primarily in the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector. The project “Implementation of a Training Programme for Refrigeration Technicians in Good Practices in Turkmenistan” was approved by the GEF Council in 1998. The project is being implemented by UNEP in co-operation with the National Ozone Office of the Ministry of Nature Protection of Turkmenistan. The training program is designed for Turkmenistan technicians to improve their working practices while performing service and maintenance in the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector. The Government of Turkmenistan has defined a comprehensive approach to reduce the ODS consumption in refrigeration / air-conditioning sector. This approach has been defined in the Refrigerant Management Plan (RMP) developed for Turkmenistan which



has become operational in the first half of 2001. This training program on good practices is a part of this RMP. It has been agreed between the country and UNEP that synergies should be created in implementing this project with a view to optimise the use of the resources.

It was agreed that more training centres would be set up for subsequent training in Phase II, and that these training centres would be equipped with the necessary training equipment by pooling the resources of UNEP. The Government of Turkmenistan is planning to introduce a certification system for the technicians. The NOU was encouraged to complete the process urgently so that the scheme would support and add value to the Phase I and Phase II training of UNEP R&R programme. The training program will also provide recovery and recycling equipment and will establish a recycling network operated by the Ministry of Nature Protection of Turkmenistan to collect polluted refrigerants and lubricants for reuse and for final disposal. A monitoring system (as part of the operations of the national Ozone Office) will report the quantities of refrigerants recycled and would be established by the national Ozone Office. The national Ozone Office will issue recommendations on further national requirements for recovery and recycling. The Technical University of Turkmenistan and the Vocational Training Centres have to include a refrigerant recovery / recycling and good practice course in their regular curriculum. (Please see recommendations from NOO Ashgabat) 2. Objectives The main objective of this project is to assist to comply with the phase-out schedule as set in the Country Programme approved by the Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund. The project will also help the refrigeration / air-conditioning sector industries of Turkmenistan reduce their consumption of CFCs as part of this effort. The project aims to train approximately 380 refrigeration- and air-conditioning technicians employed by different refrigeration and air-conditioning companies in Turkmenistan. The trainers under Phase I will then train the remaining technicians in the country. The trainers will also perform the role of foremen and quality assurance experts for their employees ensuring that good maintenance standards and practices will be followed. These efforts will also promote the introduction of non-CFC equipment and technology. 3. Expected Results The long term expected result of the training program is to enhance good service and technical practices in the refrigeration sector assisting the switch over to non-CFC refrigerants and equipment by the year 2003 without causing an unnecessary burden to the Turkmenistan consumers. The main expected results are the following:



• Minimisation and elimination of uncontrolled emissions of Ozone Depleting Refrigerants through better maintenance practices and ODS recovery and recycling by training refrigeration service technicians.

• Increased usage of non-CFC equipment and technology and non-ODS

refrigerants (coolants).

• Reduction of the annual consumption of CFC 11, 12, 502 and others.

• Incorporation of a Montreal Protocol related refrigerant recovery, recycling and good practices training module in the curricula of the Technical University of Turkmenistan and other training centres to ensure that newly qualified technicians know about the Montreal Protocol and that training becomes sustainable.

• Ensure follow-up and strengthening of joint initiatives between the

Government of Turkmenistan and the refrigeration / air-conditioning industry concerning training programmes in recovery and recycling and good practices in refrigeration.

• Creating synergies with the recycling network to be run by the Turkmenistan

refrigeration sector companies under the approved Recovery and Recycling project being implemented by UNEP.

• A monitoring system (being a part of the operation of the National Ozone

Office) covering the quantities of refrigerants recycled will be established by the Government of Turkmenistan (Ministry of Nature Protection) which also will issue recommendations on recovery and recycling of refrigerants.

• Immediate availability of 26 trained technicians to train the remaining

technicians in the country. Dissemination of general information of the harmful effects of ODS has been enhanced through the project, since its implementation is closely related to the Institutional Strengthening Project. 4. Participants At the end of the workshop, 26 professionals of the planned 380 professionals of the refrigeration sector were trained as trainers. An action plan to train the remaining technicians in the next 12 months has been prepared to organise additional workshops. The participants to the workshop came from the following institutions:

• Technical University of Turkmenistan

• Different Institutes and private refrigeration and air-conditioning companies in Turkmenistan.

A detailed list of the participants is included as annex 10.2



5. Methodology As part of this training program, a five-day workshop to “train the trainers” was organised at the “Institute of Manuscript” in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, from 28th May to 01st June 2001. Berthold Schneider, a UNEP international consultant in recovery and recycling and good practices served as lead instructor and co-ordinator of the workshop. He was assisted by Mr. Vladimir Verveda (NOO), Mrs. Ogulsoltan Ashirova, Mrs. Enesh Seitmuradova, Mrs. Liliya Kasimova and Mr. Andrew Gotov of the National Ozone Office to manage and organise the sessions. During the workshop, UNEP’s training manual on “Good Practices in Refrigeration” as well as different publications and slides were used as resource documents. The workshop consisted of both theoretical and practical “hands-on” demonstrations. The use of a computer-connected projector enhanced the theoretical lessons and the video clips. It’s recommended to use that equipment in future workshops. (List of resources and documents see Annex 10.5). 6. Content The workshop agenda included lectures on the harmful effects of Ozone Layer Depletion, related international agreements, as well as lectures on CFC-refrigerants, different kind of equipment, good maintenance practices, recovery and recycling of refrigerants, and handling of used (polluted) compressor oils. Lectures on non-CFC refrigerants, retrofitting possibilities and envisioned future technological development on refrigeration / air-conditioning sector were also included. Hands-on demonstrations with recovery and recycling equipment were conducted during the training sessions using actual refrigeration units in need of recover, repair, evacuate, recharge and set into operation. The use of dried Nitrogen (N2) as a protective gas during soldering of copper tubes was demonstrated to prevent built up oxides inside the tubes. Proper handling of tools especially for the use in the field of refrigeration and air-conditioning was an important part of the lectures. An examination of the participants was conducted at the end of the workshop to test the level of dissemination of key Montreal Protocol and good practices issues during the workshop. All the 26 participants passed the examination (average results: 98 %) and received an official “Certificate of Participation” which certifies them to train other technicians and to work with ODS or ODS-containing equipment. (Certificate see Annex 10.6) Discussion with the participants showed that more practical exercises are required. To split the training session into a theoretical and a practical part will be a good way to fulfil the objectives of the implementation of RMP. A detailed agenda of the workshop is included in annex 10.1



7. Results, Conclusions, Recommendations and Lessons learned. The 26 trainers received the necessary knowledge in order to train the technicians working with them at their respective workshops in the use of good servicing practices and on how to recover and recycle refrigerants. The Training centres and recovery centres will receive a set of the necessary equipment to recover and recycle refrigerants, within the framework of the project. Recommendations:

• Additional workshops should be organised by the National Ozone Office (NOO) in order to train additional trainers soon.

• Efforts should be made for the establishment of an import / export licensing system and of a certification system for technicians of the refrigeration / air-conditioning sector.

• The NOO should try to establish some collecting points for polluted (mixed) refrigerants and for used compressor oils to store them until there will be a final solution for their disposal by high temperature cracking in a Plasmatox plant in the future.

• UNEP DTIE should provide a new list with equipment, tools and spare parts for at least one year of operation of the equipment including correct translation of all operating manuals. For the use of new media during the workshops a computer connected projector (beamer) and a CD-ROM burner is recommended too.

8. Follow-up Action Plan

• These workshops are part of the RMP approved for Turkmenistan. As such it will be followed by other activities under Phase II defined within the RMP to be implemented by the NOO that will ensure the sustainability of the training in good servicing in refrigeration and the follow-up and strengthening of the phase-out process of ODS.

• Additional workshops will be organised by the NOO in order to train further

trainers and technicians. The 26 trained trainers from this workshop will initiate further training under the Phase II.

• Following the workshops the Ministry of Nature Protection is planning to

establish a certification system for technicians in the field of refrigeration and air-conditioning and an import / export-licensing system for ODS and ODS containing equipment.

• The Government of Turkmenistan will report by June 2002 on the results of

the training program in good servicing practices and recovery and recycling of refrigerants under the monitoring systems that will be established.

ANNEX 10.7 About the UNEP DTIE OzonAction Programme Under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, countries worldwide are taking specific, time-targeted actions to reduce and eliminate the production and consumption of man-made chemicals that destroy the stratospheric ozone layer, Earth’s protective shield. Over 180 governments have joined this multilateral environmental agreement and are taking actions to phase out ozone depleting substances (ODS), which include CFCs, halons, methyl bromide, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform, and HCFCs. The Parties to this agreement established a Multilateral Fund that provides developing countries with the technical and financial assistance needed to comply with the Protocol. UNEP, UNDP, UNIDO and the World Bank are the Fund’s Implementing Agencies. The objective of UNEP’s OzonAction Programme is to assist developing countries and Countries with Economies in Transition to achieve compliance with the control measures of the Montreal Protocol. Since 1991, the Programme has met this goal by strengthening National Ozone Units (NOUS) and facilitating regional and international responses to the ozone depletion challenge by providing the following need-based services: § Information Clearinghouse, which provides need-based information services that help decision-

makers take informed decisions on policies and technologies required to phase out ODS. The clearinghouse has provided over 100 publications and other information aids, including guidelines, videos, CD-ROMs, public awareness materials, a newsletter, sector-specific publications, and a web site.

§ National and Regional Training, which builds the capacity of policy-makers, customs officers

and local industry to implement national ODS phase-out activities. UNEP promotes the involvement of local experts from industry and academia in training workshops and brings together local stakeholders with experts from the global ozone protection community. To date, OzonAction has conducted 70 training programmes for customs officers and 62 for refrigeration technicians.

§ Regional Networking of ODS Officers, which provides a regular forum for those officers to

exchange experiences, develop skills, and share ideas with counterparts from both developing and developed countries. Networking helps ensure that NOUs have the information, skills and contacts required to successfully manage their national ODS phase-out strategies. UNEP currently operates 8 regional/sub-regional Networks involving 115 developing and 9 developed countries.

§ Refrigerant Management Plans, which provide countries with integrated, cost-effective

strategies for ODS phase out in the refrigeration and air conditioning sectors. RMPs assist developing with overcoming the numerous obstacles to phase out ODS in the critical refrigeration sector. UNEP currently provides specific expertise, information and guidance to support the development of RMPs in 67 countries.

§ Country Programmes and Institutional Strengthening, which support the development and

implementation of national ODS phase-out strategies, especially for low-volume ODS-consuming countries. The Programme has assisted about 100 countries to develop their CPs and 96 countries to implement their IS projects.

In 2002, UNEP restructured OzonAction to better respond to the evolving needs of developing countries during the compliance period. Its overall vision and work strategy was reoriented into the Compliance Assistance Programme (CAP). A major feature of the CAP strategy is to move away from a disparate project management approach towards integrated and direct implementation of the programme using a team of professionals with appropriate skills and expertise. UNEP has now



regionalised the delivery of the programme and services by placing its Regional Offices at the forefront to assist the countries in the region.

Primarily funded by the Multilateral Fund, the OzonAction Programme also receives support from the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Sweden, the Government of Finland, and other bilateral sources.

About the UNEP Division of Technology, Industry and Economics

The mission of the UNEP Division of Technology, Industry and Economics is to help decision-makers in government, local authorities, and industry develop and adopt policies and practices that: q are cleaner and safer; q make efficient use of natural resources; q ensure adequate management of chemicals; q incorporate environmental costs; q reduce pollution and risks for humans and the environment. The UNEP Division of Technology, Industry and Economics (UNEP DTIE), with the Division Office in Paris, is composed of one centre and five branches: / The International Environmental Technology Centre (Osaka), which promotes the adoption and use of environmentally sound technologies with a focus on the environmental management of cities and freshwater basins, in developing countries and countries in transition. / Production and Consumption (Paris), which fosters the development of cleaner and safer production and consumption patterns that lead to increased efficiency in the use of natural resources and reductions in pollution. / Chemicals (Geneva), which promotes sustainable development by catalysing global actions and building national capacities for the sound management of chemicals and the improvement of chemical safety world-wide, with a priority on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and Prior Informed Consent (PIC, jointly with FAO). / Energy and OzonAction (Paris), which supports the phase-out of ozone depleting substances in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, and promotes good management practices and use of energy, with a focus on atmospheric impacts. The UNEP/RISØ Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment supports the work of the Branch. / Economics and Trade (Geneva), which promotes the use and application of assessment and

incentive tools for environmental policy and helps improve the understanding of linkages between trade and environment and the role of financial institutions in promoting sustainable development.

/ Coordination of Regional Activities Branch (Paris), which coordinates regional delivery of

UNEP DTIE's activities and ensures coordination of DTIE's activities funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

UNEP DTIE activities focus on raising awareness, improving the transfer of information, building capacity, fostering technology cooperation, partnerships and transfer, improving understanding of environmental impacts of trade issues, promoting integration of environmental considerations into economic policies, and catalysing global chemical safety.
